Could a poop transplant cure baldness? scientists test new theory

NCT ID NCT06747611

Summary

This study is testing whether transplanting healthy gut bacteria from a donor can help regrow hair in people with alopecia areata, an autoimmune condition that causes hair loss. Researchers will enroll 40 adults with moderate to severe hair loss to see if changing the gut microbiome can calm the immune system and allow hair to grow back. The trial will track hair regrowth, safety, and how the treatment changes the body's bacteria and immune response over a year.
